^^And that's why I want it back. lol.
Its speed was extremely shortlived. Hell, Kubo can even bring back its nasty bone creaking side effects with it if he thinks excessive use of it might make him too overpowered.

now i understand why is it everytime i see Ginjou each chapter, i always felt something wrong with him, it's like his face displayed tiredness, exhausted, and his moves are somewhat limited(?).......and it's because he's really an OLD MAN........his bankai reveal his true self!! lol ^^

While Ichigo's new bankai design is not that bad but its ridiculous......ridiculous in the part where the sleeves were extending to be somewhat like a thick gloves. o_0.....Ichigo is like going to play soccer and be the goalkeeper..lol^^

I like the original one where i can see Ichigo's sweet bare hands while fighting and holding Tenza Zangetsu. >.<

i think it's good now that they come out to Yukio's fullbring so that Ginjou can't blabber some non-sense anymore about SS,..I'm hoping to see Uruhara next chapter to at least give some content about this.

I also thought Ichigo's new bankai sword resembles a dragon but its too impossible for Tenza Zangetsu to be a black dragon.lol........argh, i think this is just the effect of too much reading Fairy Tail lately.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what this new bankai could do. But personally, I liked the practicality of his old one. It was also quite unique since most shinigami have elaborate bankai.

And I still think that the old bankai sword was more badass. I saw the carbon replica of that sword (which I badly want for some morbid reason) and it was pretty cool. It looked like a real katana only everything was in black from the blade to the metal chain attached to its hilt.

His primary strength in Bankai WAS his speed but they only showed that off the first time he ever used it!

That's because his speed was only impressive back then in the uber-broken SS arc. People expected so much of Ichigo (I'm talking pre-Dangai Ichigo) when he really wasn't all that powerful. Whereas the other Captains rely on no release or Shikai to have amazing speed and power, Ichigo has always needed his bankai to boost him to that level.

And I also liked Ichigo's old bankai way more. IMO, Kubo should have sticked with the post-Dangai appearance.

Well, lets not forget that in the SS arc his powers wasn't being "limited" by his combat pass. Although I think that would be a lame excuse for him having to depend on bankai so much after that arc to do anything worthwhile.

If the SS arc was his real power, and not some blown up representation of it Kubo felt he had to use to attempt to fill the giant plot holes he had dug, then, even with the pass (and I think it's effects are being seriously overestimated), Ichigo would never had had a problem in the first place.
